This is crazy! Glad to see more big companies and CEOs calling out Apple for their reckless App Store policies. Elon, Daniel Elk, Zuck, and now Coinbase.
You might have noticed you can't send NFTs on Coinbase Wallet iOS anymore. This is because Apple blocked our last app release until we disabled the feature.
Hyped to meet up with founder friends, devs, and brand builders who are in town for Basel. If you’re experimenting with token-powered commerce let’s chat we gotta few slots open for twitter friends. DM us ☕️

Ask yourself “What would Steve Jobs do?” He’d probably build a new wallet into Apple Pay to hold digital collectibles, loyalty/membership tokens and stablecoins.
Anyway we made it through this little storm with App Review. The Nouns app is alive and well. We have a nounish update coming soon with our friends at Mad Happy. And we plan to bring back some proposal features. Look out for that.
Good news is Apple has acknowledged finally NFTs and the iOS ecosystem will be huge for free mints/Free to own (minus the other heavy-handed policy of not allowing digital features to be unlocked with NFTs smh).
And… it worked! Three submissions later, including one where the review team actually tested the wrong build 🤦🏾♂️, Apple finally approved the release after we stripped out all external links, even the one to our own website.
There was no way we were going to add IAP. Again, that didn’t make sense for so many reasons. So instead, we were forced to remove all links to the http://Nouns.wtf website. Even links to Nouns DAO proposals :( because “a user could navigate from there to the live auction”
We had a couple of months to stew on it and for a little while, we thought that was it for the Nouns app. Blocked and bricked by App Review. RIP Nouns App. It was fun and delightful while it lasted.
Clearly we weren’t trying to circumvent the App Store rules to make an extra buck. We tried explaining this, but they really didn’t get it. They just kept pointing us to policy 3.1.1 in their review guidelines.
I guess when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
That made no sense. IAP doesn’t even support auctions or the ability to pay with ETH. No one is buying a 30+ ETH Noun via IAP so Apple can get their 30%. Plus we’re Nouns community builders! The app was open sourced and released under a CC0 license.
Thankfully they relented (shout out to Richard from App Review) and let the app through since it was a critical update. But Apple made it clear that this would be our last update until we added the ability to purchase Nouns using IAP.
The reason: “your app accesses digital content purchased outside the app, such as NFTs, but that content isn’t available to purchase using in-app purchase.” Really? Like who’s actually going to buy a Noun with IAP??
We let the reviewer know that it’s meant to be a fun companion app and that auctions only happen on the Nouns website.
This is when we got served with our first rejection hammer (a feeling I’m all too familiar with after 10+ years of making iOS apps).
Surprise, surprise… the App Review team came back to us with some “questions”. They wanted more info about the “NFT auction feature” and how users can participate in auctions. Ironically we didn’t build an auction feature!
